The "Kabul government" is a phrase used to describe the current government of Afghanistan, led by Hamid Karzai. This phrase is used to emphasise how it is not a national government, but only controls the capital (Kabul) and the immediate surrounding areas, while the rest of the country remains in control of the Taliban and local warlords. Thus, this may be considered a pejorative term.
Famous quotes containing the word government:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
